Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Tasting from 1992 with the following notes. Beautiful colour and nose. Well rounded, light and fruity with spices and sweet touch to the palate.
Review by Johannes
Schöner fruchtiger, eher jünger wirkender Agricole. Für die wenigen Prozente erstaunlich intensiv.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Da passiert einiges im Mund. Ich bin nur nicht sicher, ob alles positiv ist. Hat hintenraus viel Schärfe was für die 45% schon merkwürdig ist. Wenig grasige Noten, die ich sonst bei St James erwarte. Im Retasting deutlich besser, aber immer noch eine Schärfe hintenraus.
Review by Thunderbird
Tasting bei Dr. Django Dieser Saint James gefällt mir recht gut. Obwohl auch er leicht und weich daherkommt, hat er eine sehr schöne traubige Nase, die einen sofort an einen fruchtigen schweren Wein erinnert. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich angenehm weich. Er istein klasse Sipper
Review by zabo
Franconian Tasting Gang am 10.05.2024 Zuerst ein großes Dankeschön an DomM, der dieses Set zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Mich persönlich hat es nicht abgeholt das Profil. Bis auf eine Ausnahme ist mir dieser Seifengeschmack too much. Die Reste aus den Gläsern sind aber dann dank DomM und Serge in einem spontanen und überragenden Cocktail gelandet.
Review by Mirco
Auch wenn dieser St. James mit niedrigem ABV abgefüllt wurde, wartet hier mehr Komplexität als vermutet. Etwas Frucht, aber mehr florale und Agricole-Noten. Der Abgang ist mir deutlich zu pfefferig und ruppig.
Review by Serge
Super schöne Nase aber am Gaumen dann doch vergleichsweise langweilig und etwas flach. Insgesamt dann aber doch interessant genug. Zumindest keine Seifigkeit. Aber wohl eher von historischem Wert. Aber ich bin ja auch ein Agricole Banause 😂
